That "massive dinosaurs" deck was really funny and cool. What a Naya player dreams of doing before they die without casting a single creature.

A little lore bit here, but OG art of Angel of Tithes is the angel Liliana kills when she planeswalks to Innistrad and Lili takes her headpiece as a trophy and to symbolize her hatred to angels/holy beings!

Finally someone else knows this! I loved scrolling through thousands of mtg cards to find relations between em The new sagas cards (i got back into mtg a month ago after stopping in 2018) have references to the ice age block and it is amazing how good the art and references are

Sick deck man, absolutely love the style! Definitely turning this into a Mardu Snapdax led deck aggro recursion lifegain triggers. With spells like {Village Rites} and such, {dreahorde arcanist} too for example. You inspired my Mardu Commander deck with this one man...hey, now that I'm thinking about it! You making a Snapdax deck on brawl with new cards and old would be sick man, you'd pull it off great, and knowing your aggro love, a double strike lightning helix lifegain triggers aggro. with a sprinkle of reanimation like {Phyrexian Reclamation}...you get the idea haha. Anyways, great videos dude, I love and look up to your playstyle and paterns, you've definetely made me a much better Magic player than I'd be without your content over the years haha. And the low-key humor is gold! Keep it up dude! Cheers :)

Oh... Archangel of Tithes... I recall when I opened the card in Magic Duels. That was the card was the first indicator Duels had a problem creating an environment where there was no rotation... and so they yanked the card rather than code its interaction with cards from new sets. I still have a screenshot of my card, in Magic Duels, before they took it away.

@photo_watcher 29 күн бұрын

I think you need some more mass removal for ramp decks or another types of decks with mass creatures

@LegenVD 29 күн бұрын

Our plan vs those decks is to tax them with Tithes while outracing them in the air. There’s still a few copies of Lockdown to deal with tokens specifically, but other boardclears can set back our own gameplan too much. Since our deck doesn’t have much card advantage we can’t always afford to play the control role.

This has been on my mind recently because of the current meta. Would love to see Legend do a spin on it.

@LegenVD 29 күн бұрын

It’s decent on the play but does very little to stop aggro when you’re on the draw. At least Revelry is a better catch up mechanism. I see it more as a combo piece for some sort of Prison or Flash deck, which isn’t really suited for the current aggro meta in best of one.

Thoughts on trying out a UW flash deck? The archetype was meh before OTJ release, but Aven Interrupter and Stoic Sphinx to diversify the 4 drop spot has pushed one of my decks to the moon. Currently having a 20/3 record with it in BO1 and feels like playing control but with quicker wincons. Basically my only sorcery speed play being the Academy Loremaster as a card draw engine. And yes, Tidebinder is a house.

Errant and Giada seems a perfect addition to this deck

@LegenVD 29 күн бұрын

Tried it before in various other angel and flash decks. Decent card, although often worse in practice than it is in theory. Makes you sequence cards awkwardly to get value and other turns you’re staring down a land or some other uncastable spell. So don’t think it’s worth the extra splash, but still good to keep in mind!

@Manslaughter008 28 күн бұрын

How about Aurelia's Vindicator? It could enable turn 2 Giada, turn 3 Vindicator as a 5/3, turn 4 Resplendent angel and a 7/7 token.

Hm... these blue counter decks and the Cavern of Souls Problem... ist Field of Ruin still legal in standard (I don't often play that format)? If the answer is yes than mono blue should use more Field of Ruin in their decks to destroy the Cavern of Souls.

@LegenVD 29 күн бұрын

Both Field of Ruin and Demolition Field are legal. The issue with those in monoblue is that with all the cheap cantrips the deck can’t afford many colorless sources and both Flow of Knowledge and Thirst for Discovery want islands.

Disgusting? Seriously? Wow. The art is fantastic, just not your typical angel, which is understandable considering the setting. The original art was all stiff and ill-proportioned. I wonder if there's something else that bothers you.

@@dumplingdepinto The setting is pretty trash though (as a part of the Magic multiverse). Too gimmicky, just like MKM. The illustration is an obvious forced token in a cheesy setting... The art itself is fine, that's true. Just super out of place.

@dumplingdepinto 28 күн бұрын

@@FluffySpikeM Whether or not the setting is trash is entirely subjective and beside the point. Naturally, the appreciation of the card's art is also subjective, but as I'm sure you know, my remark was directed at the original commenter's particular choice of words and the potential presence of underlying racism/bigotry. Of course, I don't know for certain if that's really the case, but I concluded it warranted an observation.

@FluffySpikeM 28 күн бұрын

@@dumplingdepinto Understandable. Let's assume the comment was indeed about race. Most of the time when people say they don't like minorities depicted in entertainment - it has nothing to do with racism or bigotry. Most of the time they're pissed off by bad writing and preachiness. A black woman (rather nice-looking, btw) in a cowboy hat with a gun-but-not-really-a-gun is hardly a typical angel from the game lore perspective. WotC and good writing are things that go together very rarely in recent years (if they ever did).
